Bob's open - pass the puck!


My friend the musician and composer Robert Marchand can take a lot of credit for IN THE COOLER. After all, it was his putting the poem to music at first that got the project started.
We met at Jimmy Lee on Friday to view the currently incomplete offline edit, so he could start thinking about scoring the film.

Robert has been a close collaborator since 1994, though we actually met in 1992. He's always been very open to new ideas and the expression of same, which made our working relationship a huge pleasure when he produced my various compositions and noodlings over the years. We've also written together (the score for POINGS D'APPUI.)

But his score for CORPS was all Bob, and so, too, will be what you hear on in the cooler. And as he likes to say, what you hear is 60% of what you see.

I mentioned this before, but will close by mentioning it again. Bob has done a lot of work with me in the last year, particularly for the live events we put together with Circo de Bakuza. For a guy who claims to have played at Expo, it's cool to see him hitting his stride now.

And that original music? Maybe Bob will post the recording we did with Jesko to his Myspace page, so you can hear it ! And I think it would go great over the end credits....
